Aikyotsava Festival: End of Track and Field (END 1)

27th July 1658

Early in the morning, before daybreak, the Kaveri Riverbank Industrial Zone has already come alive with a symphony of mechanical sounds heard from one of the largest factories in the special zone, the Raya Printing Services. Monopolizing the fast flow of the river current, when all other factories are yet to start the work, the efficiency of printing is at an all-time high.

From raw paper rolls to finished newspapers, it only takes a few minutes to manufacture, thanks to the existence of a dozen or so second-generation Gutenberg printing presses and first-generation Raya printing presses, which are exclusively used to print images onto the paper. Amidst the loud machinery, Kabir Mehta, the head of operations and distribution for Bharatham Daily newspaper, personally inspects the day's product.
